Reading Part A: 7 Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art Chp. 1

The beginning of this video starts off by showing an image of Shivas family. Shiva was known as a mountain mendicant. His wife is the Goddess Parvati who is a mountain princess. They had two children one named Ganesha who has a head of an Elephant and Kartikeya who holds a spear. While watching the video I could not help but to wonder why Kartikeya was holding a spear and why Ganesha head is a head of an elephant. Like the video says, some may find it hard to accept that hindus have different gods and goddesses. I think it is weird that the gods and goddesses have different physical characteristics, such as the elephant head and four arms. I also agree with what the video was saying about Hinduism and their different gods. I don't understand how they worship so many different gods but that it is normal to them because that is all they know.

As I was listening to the video, I wondered what is the significance behind a mango. The mango is what Kartikeya and Ganesha raced around the world for. In my retelling of the this video I am going to research the significance or symbolism behind a mango and have the children race for that symbolism.

Introduction To a Future Pharmacists

Hello bloggers! My name is Taylor Calvert and I am a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. My majors are Chemical Biosciences, Pre-Pharmacy and a Spanish minor. The coolest thing about my major is I am learning about the human body everyday. I personally think everyone needs to know more about the human body to properly take care of themselves. The cool thing about having a Spanish minor is being able to communicate with a larger audience. The best class I took last semester is Human Anatomy because I learned so much about the human body hands on. I was grateful to have the opportunity to work on a cadaver, to see what the inside of our bodies really look like. I absolutely love to cook and to garden in my spare time! Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved flowers. My grandmother and I would always spend time gardening together.                                                                                 personal photo: grandmothers garden My favorite flow

His strength and power trembles the Earth when he roars. He earned his roar over the Kingdom by providing the Fountain of Health to the animals who were plagued by sickness and death. These animals now have freedom from sickness and diseases and for that the Lion King received immeasurable strength and power. Whomever confronts him with the desire to fight and defeat him is plagued with terrible diseases for the rest of their lives. Milo, the King of Elephants and brother of Harold approached him and said, " Brother, there is an evil one that is challenging you. He goes by the name Razor. He will be here before dawn."
